Bogieville is a 2024 American horror film written by Henry P.
Gravelle and directed by Sean Cronin. Starring Arifin Putra, Eloise Lovell
Anderson, Sean Cronin, and Daniel P. Lewis, this chilling tale takes viewers
deep into a nightmarish world hidden within the shadows of an abandoned trailer
park.
The story follows a young couple
who are desperately on the run. They’ve been driving for hours, leaving behind
a dark and dangerous past. The sun begins to set, and the road ahead is empty,
silent, and unsettling. With nowhere else to go, they stumble across what
appears to be a forgotten, run-down trailer park.
The sign at the entrance reads one word: BOGIEVILLE.
The name itself feels strange — like a warning. But with their gas running low
and their nerves frayed, the couple decides to check it out, hoping they can
rest for the night.
As they explore, the place seems deserted at
first. Old trailers sit in silence, their windows covered in grime, the air
thick with the smell of decay. Just when they think they’re alone, a figure
steps out of the shadows.
This is Crawford — the
caretaker of Bogieville.
He’s tall, pale, and speaks with a calm yet unsettling tone. Crawford assures
them they can stay for the night. He even offers them a trailer, saying they’ll
be “safe” here as long as they follow his rules.
The couple is hesitant, but with no other
options, they agree. What they don’t know is that Crawford is not just a
caretaker — he’s a guardian, and what he’s guarding is far
from ordinary.
At night, the strange feeling in the air
grows stronger. The couple begins hearing noises — whispers, footsteps, and low
growls just outside their trailer. Peering out the window, they spot figures
moving in the dark. These aren’t regular people.
They soon discover the horrifying truth: Bogieville
is home to a pack of vampires. These aren’t the romanticized vampires
of fairy tales — they are feral, bloodthirsty predators, and their leader is
the fearsome Madison.
Madison is unlike anything the couple has
seen before. She’s beautiful in a cold, deadly way, with a presence that
commands both fear and respect. She doesn’t just feed on blood — she enjoys the
hunt, the fear, and the control she has over her victims.
The residents of Bogieville aren’t normal
tenants. They’re vampires who live hidden from the outside world, hunting
quietly to avoid drawing too much attention. And Crawford? His job is to
protect them from outsiders… and protect outsiders from them — but only to a
point.
The couple begins to suspect that their
arrival in Bogieville wasn’t an accident. Crawford’s kindness feels more like a
trap, and Madison’s interest in them seems too personal. As they dig deeper,
they uncover a chilling truth — Madison has been looking for new “recruits” to
add to her vampire family, and she has her eyes set on them.
Crawford appears torn — part of him wants to
help the couple escape, but his loyalty to Madison and the vampires runs deep.
The line between protector and predator starts to blur.
As night deepens, the vampires close in. The
couple realizes they have only two choices: escape before sunrise or become
permanent residents of Bogieville — in the worst possible way.
Armed with whatever they can find — broken
wood, metal rods, even fire — they try to make a run for it. But the vampires
are faster, stronger, and relentless. Madison herself joins the hunt, turning
the chase into a deadly game.
In a tense final act, the couple faces
Madison head-on. Crawford makes a fateful choice — his true loyalties are
revealed, leading to a bloody and violent showdown. The battle is brutal, with
screams echoing through the empty trailers as fire spreads and blood flows.
The ending leaves the audience wondering: did
the couple truly escape, or did Bogieville claim them like it has so many
before?
Bogieville is more than just a vampire movie. It blends:
·
The creeping
dread of isolation in a forgotten place.
·
A predator-prey
dynamic that keeps the tension high.
·
Complex
villains like Madison and
Crawford, who blur the line between human motives and monstrous instincts.
The film thrives on atmosphere — the
abandoned trailer park feels like its own character, a trap you can’t see until
it’s too late.
If you’re a fan of vampire horror with a
gritty, claustrophobic setting and morally twisted characters, Bogieville
delivers a nightmarish ride that will leave you thinking twice before stopping
at a deserted trailer park in the middle of nowhere.
